Allison Travis+FollowWho Will Be USMNT’s Next Big No. 9?Tim Howard just dropped some real talk about the USMNT’s biggest worry heading into the 2026 World Cup: who’s going to step up as our go-to striker? Even with stars like Captain America (Pulisic) and Jedi (Robinson) missing this summer, the real question is still at the No. 9 spot. Howard says we need a true game-changer up top—someone like McBride or Dempsey used to be. With Balogun, Pepi, and Sargent all in the mix, who do you think will claim that spot? #Sports #Soccer #USMNT10Share
Maurice Miller+FollowYoung Yanks Show Heart in Gold Cup LossDespite falling 2-1 to El Tri in the Gold Cup final, the USMNT’s young guns—dubbed the "C Team" by some—showed serious grit under Poch. Missing stars like Captain America and McKennie, these underdogs pushed Mexico to the brink and proved they’re hungry for more. Poch’s gamble on youth might not have brought gold, but it’s definitely shaken up the roster battle for next year’s World Cup. Thoughts on who earned a call-up? #Sports #Soccer #USMNT00Share
watkinsross+FollowLalas Rips Luna & Agyemang After Gold Cup LossTough night for the Yanks in Houston—after going up early, USMNT let Mexico take the Gold Cup 2-1.
